Analysis: It's been entirely clear who the Bears are talking to but the finalists and a few other potential first interviews make this stage more murky.

After a six-game losing skid that culminated in a clock mismanagement fiasco and loss to the Lions, the Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus in late November.

The Chicago Bears are in the middle of their head coach search, which has cast a wide net of candidates that include rising coordinators, former head coaches and college coaches.
